Last week, Recovery Near You staff spoke to shoppers at Asda and Waitrose about alcohol units and government guidelines on safer drinking. Many people they spoke to were not aware of unit intakes for males and females, or how drugs and alcohol effect the body and long term health.
Staff gave shoppers quizzes, literature and goody bags, as well as answering any questions they had about drugs and alcohol. Former service users even stopped by to tell staff how well they were doing since engaging with Recovery Near You.
